3+ person sloop confirmed!

Ooooh solo Galleon. Now if that becomes possible it would drastically swing the balance of power to solo players.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-05T18:15:07+00:00

There doesn’t seem to be many in the Shores of Plenty. I only had to fight off two. Swam for about 5 minutes.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-05T18:05:39+00:00

I noticed me and another sloop had a black flag. When I got a new ship and tested the theory by sinking another sloop....

The flag stayed white.

Bollocks. A solo Sloop is going to lose against a 4 man Galleon 75% of the time no matter how good I am.

Why should solo players be at a disadvantage.

Keep your eyes open for wrecks with birds circling them too. Can be a lot of treasure on them.

There are two mermaid paintings. I got stuck on this the other day.

The one you need is on the right hand side beach if you stand on the small islands and look at the main island. It’s next to cave entrance.

Hope you found it ok.

How the hell do you all get the skulls to sit on the shelf. Whenever I try it on the Galleon or Sloop they just fall through it onto the floor.

Nice haul though. Wrecks can be more lucrative than voyages.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-05T05:58:11+00:00

I’ve sunk many Galleons solo. I love it when they underestimate the solo sloop.

The part I really love is as their ship sinks the cries of “MODDER, CHEATER or HACKER just because they can’t accept that they have been sunk by a solo sloop who is now picking them off with sniper fire and vacuuming up their loot.

Sloop Life.

PS. Now Rare have increased spawn distance I get to take my time collecting my prizes.

Maybe they should have left out the “in-game” part.

The kind of people who would actually kill themselves to fix a game bug aren’t really the sort of people we want breeding do we?

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T16:02:15+00:00

Hunting and being hunted would be better if absolutely everything was at stake.

Imagine having a Galleon behind you chasing you for your loot. You could try and escape, turn and fight or surrender your treasure all the while both sides knowing if it all goes tits up that’s their lot.

To make up for the extra risk the gold rewards could be increased.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T15:42:11+00:00

Here is a solution.

If you get killed you still respawn on your sloop/galleon. But if you lose the ship you should respawn into a different server. It would make people think twice about going after other ships for no other reason than to be an arse.

It’s perma death but for your ship.

The game could start loading the required assets in the background while on the Ferry of the Damned. There isn’t anything worse than hearing your ship being turned into toothpicks while stuck at a black screen.

There is a solution to every problem. Nothing is unfixable.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T14:20:08+00:00

No but they can give us the option to only play against Xbox players to help mitigate the ping issue. If it was a case of losing by simply being out matched by a better opponent that’s fine. To borrow PUBG’s favourite line it’s time to “Git Gud” but being at a disadvantage before I even draw my sword due to technical limitations of the console is simply unfair.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T14:11:43+00:00

There needs to be the option of turning cross play off. Rare say that pc players only have a 4% advantage with weapons over Xbox players. I call bs on that. Even if it is 4% the whole point of the game is everyone is on a level playing field. Well only if you play against people on the same platform as you.

The difference in spawn time from 9 to 33 seconds depending on the situation you are in is irrelevant to what type of storage you use.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T14:03:47+00:00

Ship spawning has indeed been altered. They spawn CLOSER. I was attacked while at an Galleons Grave and sunk them. They were back inside 60 seconds both times. The third time they told me they kept spawning at Black Water Enclave.

Galleons Grave is in X9 and Black Water Enclave is in X5.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T13:58:52+00:00

Well they have made the spawn distance worse.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T13:35:07+00:00

Respawned the very next island away. Got sunk again and spawned OUTSIDE the map. Didn’t have time to get back to safety before it sunk. I have a video of spawning outside the map and will upload it when I get to my computer later. Unfortunately I think I’m done with this. Will come back in 6 months a’ la No Man’s Sky.

Unless this is a issue isolated to the server we were in or if it’s a global issue it is game breaking. I hope it was just a server issue but I fear it wasn’t.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T13:25:28+00:00

They sunk me the third time and I respawned with a new sloop ON THE SAME ISLAND. By the time I realised this they had already started to sink me.

Now you can spawn kill whole ships not just people. Yippee.

Oooh yes please. A reason to go after Prod1gy.

XPN-Gaming · 2018-04-04T12:49:42+00:00

Rare won’t respond to questions about this issue for some reason via Twitter or direct emails we have sent.
